Wang Bo, Yang Jiong and many students behind them all knew the current crown prince Li Hong. Although they studied in the Hongwenguan and the Imperial College, it was common for Li Hong to come up with bad advice every now and then and instigate his teachers to discipline them.

Normally he would ride his skateboard around from time to time, so many people present, even if they didn't know Li Hong, knew that the prince must be among them when they saw the one-and-only skateboard of the Tang Dynasty in Mangzhong's hand.

Led by Wang Bo and Yang Jiong, several people did not perform the same salute as before, but performed the disciple salute, which was equivalent to the highest salute of heaven, earth, emperor, parents and teacher. As the crown prince, Li Hong could naturally bear it. Moreover, they were outside, and everyone said respectfully at the same time: "Disciple greets the teacher."

"Okay, everyone, get up. Wang Bo, why are you and Yang Jiong here? Did Shangguan Yi give you a holiday?" Li Hong asked curiously.

Wang Bo and Yang Jiong are the same age, only two years older than Li Hong. But now standing next to Li Hong, the three of them appear to be of the same height, which shows how nutritiously Li Hong eats every day.

Wang Bo glanced at Yang Jiong and said first: "In reply to your question, sir, I have resigned from Chongwenguan today and plan to return to my hometown soon and prepare for the imperial examination to enter the government."

Li Hong smiled. He was indeed a talented scholar with high ambitions. As far as he could remember, it seemed that it was this year that he, as one of the four great poets of the early Tang Dynasty, returned to his hometown to prepare to enter officialdom.

"What about you?" Li Hong turned and asked Yang Jiong.

Yang Jiong was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Bo's determined look, and said: "Today, I want to see my good friend Wang Bo off. After we say goodbye today, I don't know when we will meet again, so I asked Mr. Shangguan for leave to see Wang Bo off."

...

...

"That's right. One is loyal and righteous, and the other has lofty ambitions. No matter where you are committed to in the future, I hope you can use your talents and make due contributions to our Tang Dynasty." Li Hong said with a relaxed expression, looking at the wrinkled lake surface.

"Disciple Wang Bo will remember your teachings." Wang Bo bowed again.

"No need. Everyone has their own aspirations. Whether you are preparing for the imperial examination or being recommended for officialdom through writing, as long as you can give full play to your talents and keep your original aspiration in mind, I believe you will become a great person in the future." Li Hong said this, but in his heart he had already set the tone for Wang Bo, that he should be ambitious.

In this respect, he is not as good as Yang Jiong. Although he lacks emotional intelligence in fame, fortune and official career, Yang Jiong is always able to be down-to-earth in every aspect.

I can definitely put a lot of effort into training him and have him stay in Chongwenguan as a backbone. One day he will surely surpass the achievements recorded in history books.

"I was wondering who is so impressive, it turns out to be Hong'er. Cousin, I'm honored to meet you first." From the first moment Helan Minzhi saw Bai Chun, he was deeply mesmerized by the enchanting charm of the enchantress.

A true animal with a lower body, he had long forgotten all the doubts he had when he was robbed on the way to Persia. At this moment, there was only Bai Chun's graceful and charming face in his eyes.

Although he was talking to Li Hong, Helan Minzhi's eyes were always on Bai Chun.

Helan Minzhi has always relied on Wu Mei's favor. Among the princes and princesses in the palace, he only appears to be slightly restrained in front of Li Hong.

If Helan Minzhi was in front of Li Sujie and the others, he would be arrogant and would not take those princes and princesses seriously at all. This is why Li Zhi always disliked him and attacked Wu Mei indirectly.

Li Hong didn't turn around, but said to Yang Jiong and Wang Bo: "The Imperial College and Hongwen Academy are both out today, so where are Li Sujie and the others?"

"Sir, they went to the Royal Forbidden Garden and said they would prepare some food and come right over." Yang Jiong replied.

"They all followed him out?" Li Hong was surprised. Aren't they afraid of being punished by their father, the emperor, and their mother? Or have they already prepared for him to take the blame?

"Yes, everyone come out. Even..."

Yang Jiong was stopped by Li Hong. Needless to say, Li Hong had guessed that Li Xian and Li Zhe would definitely come out. Moreover, it was estimated that when the two little bastards returned to the palace, they would have found an excuse to punish them. That was to let him, the prince, take the blame. They would definitely say to the queen mother: "Li Hong was able to leave the palace at the age of three. We are eight years old, so naturally we can leave the palace too."

After Wang Bo and Yang Jiong left, Helan Minzhi happened to walk to a place not far from Li Hong. Mangzhong and Hua Meng pointed at his feet, signaling him not to get any closer.

Li Hong then turned around and glanced at Helan Minzhi, then continued to walk forward with his eyes drooping: "You are in a good mood today, why do you still have the energy to run to Qujiang Lake to enjoy the scenery?"

"Haha, Hong'er still understands me. He knows where my favorite place is." Helan Minzhi didn't care at all that Li Hong ignored the time difference just now, and his expression was still relaxed and at ease.

"Shouldn't you go back to your hometown with your aunt and the others?" Li Hong asked the question in his mind and also pointed out some things he knew.

"My aunt issued an order this morning, saying that we can stay in Chang'an City. After all, there are still some shops, and we can't sell them for a while." Helan Minzhi's eyes were full of ambiguous meanings, as if he was provoking Li Hong, what can you do to us? Your mother changed her mind this morning, so I'm staying in Chang'an City.

His aunt is my mother, why did she change her mind? This matter is good for her. Did my father persuade her? How dare my father? Li Hong expressed his doubts.

But no matter what, there is not much difference between staying and not staying. The theft in Taiyi City is already a thing of the past. As for these few people, Li Hong believes that without the support of his father and mother, they cannot cause any big waves.

"By the way, Hong'er, please quickly introduce this lady whom I have never met to me. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful woman in Chang'an City." Helan Minzhi impatiently turned the topic to Bai Chun.

At this moment, Helan Minzhi's feeling can only be described in four words: dazzled. At first, he was only attracted by Bai Chun's charming demeanor.

But it was not until he got closer that he realized that the five young ladies around Li Hong each had their own charm. Each of them was absolutely beautiful, just like spring, summer, autumn and winter, and each one was irresistible.

Bailu, Xiazhi, Xiaoxue and Xiaohan. The youngest, Bailu, has followed Li Hong since she was thirteen years old, and is now almost twenty years old. The oldest, Xiazhi, is only twenty-two years old now. According to the Tang Dynasty's concept, they are all old maids.

But no matter from the perspective of female aesthetics or male appreciation, a woman at this age is the most attractive, and a woman’s peak beauty begins here.

"Bai Chun." Li Hong said calmly. Then he looked towards Linshui Pavilion, the only path leading to the outside.

Li Sujie, Li Xian, Li Zhe, Li Shangjin, and even Gao An were among them. The five of them, surrounded by a group of eunuchs, hurried here carrying large and small bags of things.

Probably because they were in a hurry, none of the five people paid attention to the groups of people here. They saw that the five people were approaching Wang Bo, Yang Jiong and the others.

Then I heard Li Xian's anxious voice shouting, "Hurry up and find a secluded place, don't stay here, go to the pavilion at the edge. I just saw Lao Wu's carriage in the Forbidden Garden. That guy is here too. Don't let him run into us."

Wang Bo and the others were stunned. Didn't this guy see that the prince was talking to someone there? He dared to shout so loudly.

When Li Hong heard Li Xian's voice, he knew that this guy must have something bad to say. He was in cahoots with Li Zhe and always used him as a shield when he did something wrong. He didn't know who was the one who came up with the idea.

While Li Hong was deep in thought, Gao An's voice started to shout, "Hurry up, that devil will definitely take care of us when he comes. We finally got out, but we haven't told him yet. Who knows, he might already know about it and is thinking about how to let the gentlemen torture us."

Li Hong ignored the fact that Helan Minzhi had already run to Bai Chun to show his courtesy and said to Xia Zhi, "Call Gao An over here. A princess of the royal family is really lawless. There are only a few women among so many people. I'll... call them all over here. They have brought shame to the royal family."

"Yes, sir." Xia Zhi smiled secretly. Everyone here had heard what Prince Lu Li Xian and Princess Gao An had just said. Bai Lu and the others were all laughing silently, fearing that the prince would find out and get angry.

The women Li Hong saw were actually princesses of the royal clan. Their identities were the same as those of Honghua, who married into Tuyuhun, and Wencheng, who married into Tubo. They were princesses of the royal clan, not princesses of the current emperor.

When Li Xian and his companions were about to get close, they realized something was wrong. When they saw people winking at them, they slowed down their pace and began to look around for suspicious people. Until Xia Zhi walked out of the crowd, the group of five people were suddenly like being struck by lightning. They all hung their heads and walked slowly and dejectedly, completely losing the excitement they had just now.

"Your servant Xia Zhi greets King Qi, King Yong, King Lu, King Zhou, and Princess Gao An." Xia Zhi stood to one side where everyone was passing by, leaned forward to bow, and spoke in a low voice.

"Forget it, forget it. Where is he? Why did he come here?" Li Sujie has become much more cheerful in recent years. Ever since he knew that his life was no longer in danger, he and Qi Wang Li Shangjin began to live more lively.

In addition, he is not old enough to go to his fiefdom, so he has corresponding freedom in the palace and Chang'an City. This trip to Qujiang Lake was more of an instigation by the Imperial College and Hongwenguan than a decision made by them.

Gao An followed the four people. After seeing Xia Zhi, she knew that something was wrong, and the feeling of impending disaster became stronger and stronger.

As expected, when Li Sujie and the other three walked towards the students, Xia Zhi bowed again and said, "I, Xia Zhi, greet the princess. The prince invites you to come over."

"Hmph, I knew I would be up to no good when you were here. This is the first time I come out alone." Gao An's face was full of unhappiness. He stamped his feet and reluctantly signaled Xia Zhi to lead the way.

As long as that guy comes over, Gao An will no longer have the thought of running away or resisting. He has summed up a lot of experience of being cheated over the years, which is: don't go against Li Hong, otherwise you will be the loser in the end.

Xiaoxue also smiled and led a few princesses from the royal family who looked resentful among the students towards Li Hong.

"Hong'er, how about letting me treat you today and going to tour the Qujiang Lake with you?" Helan Minzhi hit a soft and hard nail with Bai Chun and began to look for a breakthrough from Li Hong.

"Okay, it's better to meet by chance than to be invited. I'll have some fun today." Li Hong said in a very good mood as he looked at Gao An, who was unhappy and walking slowly towards him.
